Master Grower Santinikwekerij Richard van Schie

Richard: «Since 2004, we started specialising in growing santinis. The choice of santini was made deliberately at the time: we wanted to offer added value with a distinctive product. This has so far worked out very well. We strive for the best of the best. All other members of VannoVa do the same, each with their own varieties. I am convinced that our nurseries and VannoVa are a good match»
Until 2020, Richard van Schie specialised in a few varieties, after that time it has gradually grown to as many as 15 varieties. The santinis are grown at two locations, the Papelaan in Monster and at our partner company KZ Flowers in Naaldwijk.

Rick: «After completing my studies, I followed in my father’s footsteps from 2019. That was always in the cards: the nursery, cultivation and flowers have always appealed to me. The developments within our company are going fast, really everything is being done for an efficient and perfect production of top quality santinis. I focus on sales and Richard keeps an overview of all processes.»
